LONDON U.S. President Barack Obama implored young British people not to pull back from the world on Saturday, a day after he warned the country of the risks of voting to leave the European Union in a referendum in June.

"We see new calls for isolationism, for xenophobia," Obama told young people at a "town hall" event in London. "When I speak to young people, I implore them, and I implore you, to reject those calls to pull back."
